My almost 10-year-old has been a Heelys skate shoe fan for years. He had a pair of high-top Heelys that he wore until he outgrew them and then we passed them on to a friend because they were still in great shape! When we got the chance to review a new style recently, we jumped at the chance!

Jackson selected a pair of navy, low-top, “old-school” looking sneakers called The Edge.

They are really stylish (Jackson said “cool looking”) and comfortable. We love that when he takes out the wheels he can wear them to school…but when he gets home he pops the white wheels in (one on each shoe) and rolls down to his friends house to play. The wheels were a little hard to get in and out at first, but he can totally do it on his own.

I really like that Heelys is dedicated to safety and Jackson and I went over some of Heelys tips to skate safe in their playbook, like not skating in a crowded area. I also won’t let Jackson skate in stores.

Heelys come in a variety of colors and styles for girls and boys – even adults! The regular Heelys (MSRP $47 and up) have one wheel in each heel and the Heelys Hx2 (MSRP $60) have two wheels, which makes it easier for younger kids who might not have as much balance.

They also have recently released the NANO (MSRP $85), an inline footboard that fits all single wheeled Heely shoes which provides a stable platform for the front foot. It gives you the speed of a skateboard with the maneuverability of Heelys. Jackson’s birthday is this month….he would flip out to receive this!

I’m not so coordinated but I’m thinking it might be fun to get a pair of Classic Heelys for me and Annie, my five-year-old, so we can all play together. Jackson has been practicing some tricks with them (he is a skateboarder so he loves anything that rolls!) Maybe he’ll show me some, too. If not, Heelys has a cool website to teach you how to “Heel”. Check it out here.
